Why does a woman's face become more masculine with age?
I heard that women's faces become more masculine with age. Why do their faces become more masculine with age? How does aging make their faces more masculine?
how does saggy skin make the face more masculine? losing the elastic of the skin is a bad thing- but is it really masculine??

Longer ears, bigger nose, bushier eyebrows, thin mustache, more leathery skin, these are all ways older women can become more masculine looking.

Women have both male and female hormones in their bodies. As women age their female hormones diminish up until menopause occurs( between the ages of 40 and 52) . The body is still producing the much lower volume of male hormone however. As the female hormones diminish naturally, women tend to find hair growing in places where it never did before and thinning in other places. This requires many older women to need shorter hairstyles to compensate for the slowing of their hair growth. The loss of female hormones also can result in the skin appearing less radiant and more dry. All those things contribute to the concept that older women become more masculine with age.

Women produce male and female hormones. Up until menopause, there are more female hormones in the body -- giving the typical feminine traits. After menopause there is a reduction in female hormones and the testosterone plays a larger part. Some women even start to develop more and/or thicker facial hair (a typically masculine trait).

considering that you've already been flooded with female hormones since puberty, face change is (i would assume) due to loss of: skin elasticity, muscle tone, and fat. also throught he course of a lifetime, you will inevitably produce stress hormones that will affect your body

as women age their bodies stop producing estrogen (the hormone that makes us women) hence menopause.
